The wind whistles through my moonlit branches.
No longer do I feel your weight upon my limbs,
Your nestled breath in my leaves,
Your song in my roots.
Your melody speaks to me from the echo of a different pith.
My dreams sound the beat of another's heart,
My hopes fall some other's leaves,
My fruit ripens different desires.
I will refuse this flower's bloom for the absence of you.
